As the title asks really, are there any alternative full names to Christopher?

The most intuitive shortening for Christian or Christopher is Chris!

I’d say Kitson or Kitto would be the best names to shorten to Kit.

I don’t like Kit as a name as it reminds me of someone’s ‘kit’

DD goes to nursery with a Kitto.

DGS is Kit, in it's own right. Not short for anything. Love his name.

Kitcar or Kitcat?

You could use Kester - it’s a Scottish form of Christopher

Let us pray that’s not a full name

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones , it is a full name, but not one from the English language.
